A muon-spin relaxation (mu SR) study of the geometrically frustrated magnets Gd3Ga5O12 and ZnCr2O4

We present the results of muon-spin-relaxation experiments for two materials which show geometric frustration. ZnCr22O4 has a spinel structure with S = 3/2 spins on a lattice of corner-sharing tetrahedra. Our experiments show that a local magnetic field which is quasi-static on the muon timescale de...
